2015 Map of Dover West

About this map

The Univ of New Hampshire-Main Campus anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the Oyster River and Johnson Creek drain toward the coast. This 2015 study traces the developed corridors of Dover and Somersworth in the east, contrasting with the sprawling woodlands and reservoirs to the west. A network of family-named cemeteries, such as Demeritt Cem and Sanders Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogists tracking early Strafford County residents. Industrial and transportation history is evident along the B & M RR and at Gates Corner, while the Bellamy Reservoir and Bellamy River Reservoir define the local water management system. The map also details suburban growth around Central Park and Kelwyn Park, showing the modern expansion of these historic New Hampshire communities.
